The most lovable sign of spring is seeing butterflies again. They need sunny weather. When the sun shines, they can absorb solar heat with their wings, to warm up and fly.

Butterflies are light and frivolous the way they flutter from flower to flower. It's a joyous sight. They simply enjoy life so it seems. Makes me smile always.

To enter spring I've painted a butterfly for you today. It's one from South-America and usually when they rest they will sit upside down in a high tree. I like their graphic pattern a lot. The male can make a cracking noise, although nobody knows what it's used for. That's how they got their name.

Hope we get to enjoy lots of sun this week,

With Love Lies

*Note to self

If you feel good or if you feel sad, if you feel tired, energetic, doubtful, secure, proud or ashamed. Alone or together, or any other emotion. Just feel it all the way. It's there for a reason.

And then realize...

Amazing things will happen.

expect it, be ready, rejoice over it.

Enjoy your week!

It's been a few days, but today is a Monday and that's always a good reason to begin with a miniature, to start your week happy.

Did you know owls can teach us how to put a disadvantage into something positive? Although most birds have good sight, this black-eyed barn owl has no perfect vision. But she hears so well that she can perfectly catch her pray from dusk until night.

Twilight is sometimes called owls light and a quiet walk in the woods or park in this twilight time is an excellent way to develop a good hearing and sensitivity to the 'other world' and the inner soul of nature. Your inner nature as well.

Now this owl down below is wise and she knows it, but she loves to share her wisdom. That's why I brought her to life. She is going to be the teacher in an educative garden in France. There she will be passing on fun facts of nature to children.

Have fun dear barn owl!

And you too, have fun sharing your wisdom in your own way today!

Still fond of my shiny red vintage Milano handbag. We found it on a market in Milaan filled with vintage Gucci's, Prada's, Armani's you name it. And there she was. My unbranded red lovely beauty. Just patiently waiting for me.
